Abstract

Results obtained from multicase thermal-hydraulic calculations of different heat transfer intensifiers are presented. The possibilities of saving fuel and materials in manufacturing heat exchangers for thermal and nuclear stations and during their operation due to the use of these intensifiers are shown. The objectives of further investigations are formulated.
